Creating Features

To create a feature in the Chargebee user interface, follow these steps:

Click Entitlements > Features > Create feature.
Add a name and description to the feature using the respective fields. We recommend using the same name that you use to market the feature to your customers.
A Feature ID slug for the feature name is auto-generated by default. You can enter a new feature ID only in the Create a New Feature page. Bear in mind that once set, the ID cannot be changed.

Note:
Feature ID once created cannot be changed and is directly used in the API calls with Chargebee. Hence, if you intend to have a different Feature ID, it is strongly recommended that you use a particular format that is consistent and scalable for all your features
Example: The company Acme is defining Features for their CRM product line, a good norm would be to use prefixes in the ID naming like acme-crm-feature-a.

The feature definition section is where you can define the feature entitlement type and entitlement levels.

For switch-type features, select Switch as the Entitlement Type.

For Quantity-type features, select Quantity as the Entitlement Type and create the entitlement levels.

For Range-type features, select Range as the Entitlement Type. Range allows you to create many entitlement levels within a range of values. Here you can only set a Default (Minimum) & Maximum value constraint. While assigning features to items, you have the flexibility to choose any value within the range provided.
